Coffeehouse Thread

Forum Read Only

Being british I find it hilarious (as I just pointed out in another thread) that the forum will censor some fairly innocuous words (like qu33r being the example, sorry about the l33t sp34|<) and yet swear-words like bollocks, wankers and bugger get through.

There is a list in the Wiki about the words that are filtered, W3bbo has also provided a method to get around it. I think having a censored words list is a good idea, but I doubt we really need to change it to cover these words, I think we are all mature
enough to "steer clear" of them.

﻿I doubt the threads will vanish, but I would have to agree that it did appear that you were personally attacking Softies, with disrespecful remarks.

Perhaps. But I really wasn't trying to. Something just seemed very unfair about the whole process, and well, you can read about it in the other thread as to what a particular article said. It's all making perfect sense now and it makes me truly wonder how sincere
Microsoft is about many, many things.

I understand and fully-respect your genuine concern for things to be done decently and in an orderly fashion. But I still feel that you may, in your passion , have come across a bit caustic and angry and delivered a few remarks to parties who were trying
(from all I can tell) to help the situation in the future to turnout a better success.
